Graduate School Application Fees • We have a limited budget to pay
for graduate school
application fees. We cannot pay for fees that you could have had
waived as an LSAMP participants, so please check on waivers before
you pay. If the fee cannot be waived, we need proof that you paid
the fee.

Gray Areas • In general, it is best to submit the paperwork for
things that
might not be reimbursable, since sometimes we end the year with a
little extra money and will look for student reimbursements to
pay.
• Once you have officially graduated we will most likely not be
able to process reimbursements to you.

Research Poster Printing • We can pay to have research posters that
you will be using to
present your work printed through Reprographics. You can come to
the LSAMP Office to pick up the form Reprographics needs to bill
us.

cost about $35.
• Everyone doing research should have a poster in the College of
Science Poster Celebration in May.
• Your research mentor should be able to help you design a poster.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
